Well, I pulled out my Complete Price Guide to Watches, which is my only source for vintage Swiss and they did not name either Liga or The FABRIQUE D'HORLOGERIE LIGA S.A. I am guessing they used somebody else's ebauche, so without a movement shot, that is all we can do.
That is a lucky friend! Hope they enjoy it!

Oh boy! Maybe if it was a pocketwatch, I could figure it out. But without getting a clear look...
Tell you what. Next you look in the back, look for some letter, perhaps inside of a small looking badge. Believe me, they will be visible, but they could be on the balance cock, on a bridge, or on the main plate under the balance wheel (or next to it).
For example, a cursive looking capital R would denote it was a Valjoux. A capital T inside a Capital U would denote Unitas.
Sorry to make you work, but that will help narrowing it down.

well it was not meant to be as it is in need of a good service as it needs regulating and it's not very clear in the pic but the regulating arm is all the way over and it is still 20 minutes fast so it goes in to the "and I will look at it again later" box lol . it was as I said part of a job lot got one good one out of it but the case was shockly bad condition the crystal fell apart lol but got a sound movement and is kinda good looking will try and take a couple of pics of it with a magnify glass tomorrow and see if I can get an half decent pic 
plus also it was a bit hard to take a pic as it was the size of a five pence piece

Might be JB Bourquand of Solothurn CH. They used A. Schild movements. I cannot tell if this one has shock protection or not, but it looks to me like ca 1950.
